Anniversary Weekend

Postby Glen on Mon Jun 05, 2006 3:34 pm

Just a reminder for those who haven't looked at the calender, the Anniversary Weekend is the 4th, 5th & 6th of August. More details as they come to hand (there is a team working on the restuarants now) but this is where the winners of the present Challenge will be announced.

Stay tuned!

Glen,
Great works!
Now, we're waiting for the form to submit and money to pay for the dinners.

We are going to make that a Bi annual event John, otherwise we will have too many of them before it arrives :D


Well pointed out John, the Anniversary of this forum. August 8th was the birthdate, after Gary had the foresight to establish this forum.

Two dinners Steffen. We figure that out of towners will probably arrive Friday afternoon so they don't miss outings and workshops on the Saturday morning so there is a low key dinner that night. The Main dinner is the Saturday night.

When we know details of venue and price you'll hear it here :wink:

Spada,
This year could not be the same but perhaps bigger and longish event than last year.

Bugger :x :x :x

I'm not back from holidays yet, shouldn't it be on August 12th? :wink: :wink:

I was really looking forward to the AW, now I won't be able to get to it.

I know it will be a great weekend, just unfortunate that I will miss it.
